Went to install glow plugs and and discovered the folowing:
Cylinders 1,3,5,7 @ 325psi
" " 2 @ 320, 4,6,8 @ 90psi.
No compression on three and still runs like a top, just has no power.
The question is should I rebuild, replace with a running take-out or just buy another truck.
A reman engine is around $8000 I have seen prices $1000 each way.
My problem is that the truck was under powered to begin with and I am not extremely familiar with with the durability of the various performance upgrades.
So I would like every one who reads this to give their opinion as to what they would do or what they have done. This truck is what pays the bills so it has got to last if I fix it again. Also If you have taken the time to read this I really appreciate it, THANKS.
